Yes, DrDeth, we know that you think the Democratic election loss was due to the high rate of inflation. By your standards, that’s not an outlandish assertion, but do you really have to make it _multiple times in every single election-related thread?!_ ---

But that’s his whole schtick. Repeat _ad nauseum_ the same tired points (to be fair, different tired points depending on topic!) repeatedly and oblivious to context and immune to any new information - whether supportive of his overall point or, much more commonly, totally contradictory to his point. Get rid of that, and what’s left? ---

> [@Thing.Fish](#): > > By your standards, that’s not an outlandish assertion, but do you really have to make it _multiple times in every single election-related thread?!_ Yeah, you can even cite it (it is well-documented), but that doesn’t mean you _should_. Not everywhere all the time. That’s basically spamming. ---

Now he’s in the "[Myths That Form About Songs"](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/myths-that-form-about-songs-and-bands-band-members/1014173/20) thread, doubling down on the assertion that “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” is NOT about drugs! Fortunately not many people are taking the bait. ---

Eh, I’m with him on that. When the Beatles wanted to make a song about drugs, they explicitly admitted it. And the original drawing does exist. Were they on drugs when they wrote it? Yeah, probably, and that probably accounts for a lot of the weird imagery. But that doesn’t mean the song is about drugs. ---
